OPTIMIZATION OF FO BY USE OF SOLAR WATER HEATING SYSTEM In Ordnance Factory, Badmal there are 4 nos. of oil fired Boilers of capacity 10 TPH, located at Boiler house -1 &2. In each boiler house one boiler is operated for steam generation. Per day consumption of water for steam generation is 23064 liters for boiler-1 & 23604 Liters for boiler-3. Water is fed from DM plant at ambient temperature 35 C. For pre heating the feed water of the boiler from the ambient temperature to 85 C, Solar water heating system is proposed to be installed which will increase the temperature of water up to 85 C, so as to supply this feed water to the boiler. This Solar water heating system can be installed after the storage water tank. The heated water can be fed to boiler through Boiler Feed Pump (BFP). Total 480 Nos. of panels will be required for heating of water @240 Nos. of panels for each boiler house.

As an energy conservation measure, system study is done for modifying existing system to gravity system & system is taken in service from Feb 15, 2010.
Total investment : Rs. 2,44,444 /Annual Energy Saving: 199728 KWH Annual energy cost savings : Rs. 4, 49,388/Power saved is 22.8 kW.
In cooling towers the temperature of cold water depends on the factors namely heat load, ambient, relative humidity and ambient air velocity. It was observed that the operations of the cooling tower is not controlled based on the ambient climatic conditions vis--vis temperature differential. As a result CT fans were operating continuously without taking into account of the inlet & outlet temperature variations. If outlet cooling temperature is lower than the desired value, then natural cooling is sufficient. Annual Cost Saving: Rs. 3196800.00 Investment Required: Rs. 4000000 Payback Period: 15 months
Total Financial Saving: Rs. 51072000.00 Investment Required: Rs. 30000000.00 Payback Period: 07 months
ENERGY EFFICENCY IN ODISHA GRIDCOs Power Handling Capacity = 2000 MW CGPs Power Generation Capacity = 2000 MW Total Average Power Use = 4000 MW Estimated Saving Potentials @ 10%= 400 MW Energy Efficiency can avoid the present power deficit scenario and load regulation can be avoided Energy Audit should be mandatory for all HT consumers having contract demand above 110 KVA Submission of Annual Energy Audit report and Specific Energy Consumption report should be submitted to SDA Joint verification of Financial Audit Report and Energy Audit Report of all HT consumers will discourage power theft and AT&C losses of DISCOM will be reduced. Both State Govt. and OERC have a major role to play to bring energy efficiency practices in Odisha.
